if I had to do over again

Read this poem in some blog and it was precisely what was going through my mind then. Read through and enjoy!

I Wouldn't Try To Be So Perfect !
--------------------------------------

If I had my life to live over again,
I'd try to make more mistakes next time
I wouldn't try to be so perfect.
We all have perfection fetishes,
what difference does it make,if you let people know
you are imperfect? They can identify with you then.
Nobody can identify with pefection.

I would relax more,I'd be sillier then than I've been on this trip.
Infact, I know very few things that I would take so seriously.
I'd be crazier,I'd be less hygienic,I'd take more chances.
I'd climb more mountains,I'd watch more sunsets.
I'd go more places I've never seen.
I'd eat more ice-creams and fewer beans.
I'd have more actual troubles and fewer imaginary ones.

You see,I was one of those people
who lived sensibly and sanely
hour after hour and day after day
Oh, I've had my moments,
and if I have to do it again
I'd have more of those moments.
Infact,I'd try to have nothing but beautiful moments
moment by moment by moment
In case you didn't know it,
that's the stuff life is made of-only moments!
Don't miss them now
I've been one of those people
who never went anywhere without a thermometer,
a hot water bottle,a gargle, a raincoat, and a parachute.
If I had to do it again,
I'd travel lighter next time.

If I had it to do all over again
I'd start barefoot earlier in the spring
and stay that way until later in the fall
I'd ride more mery-go-rounds,
I'd watch more sunrises, and I'd play with more children
If I had it to do over again.....

If you believe in the greater fool theory, there is no other market as speculative and volatile as the crypto market today. We are perhaps living in the biggest bubble of our times. I am not bullish on this market in particular. I am bullish on the mania. 90% of the cryptos we see today will crash. They are just tokens with no tangible value generation capability. However, I believe that the mania and euphoria will stay.

Having said that, should one consider investing in this market? Certainly!
The risk/reward is lovely, potential upsides and margins are huge and with 3-5% of your net worth, the bet on the mania is worth it.

How does one choose where to invest?

If you follow the stock markets, you are expected to do thorough Fundamental Analysis before investing. Expect the same for the crypto market. I invest in large caps. I invest in index funds. And I invest over and over again. Markets rise, always. Extrapolating the same strategy - invest in indices - the top 10 tokens by perfo…

A recent fan of TDD, I set out to write tests for whatever comes my way. And there was one feature where the code would print messages to the console. Now - I had tests written for the API but I could not get my head around ways to capture these messages in my unittests.
After some searching and some stroke of genius, here's how I accomplished capturing stdout.

Only when you are the consumers of your own products, can you design the best ones! Same philosophies go for API design and programming in general.

This advice may seem counter-intuitive at first, but trust me, the best way to get better at backend programming is to spend some time doing frontend! It will teach you a lot about how your APIs are being used in the "real world". A first-hand experience of API consumption will tell you a lot about your design philosophies!
